Virtual School Focus Groups - We Need Your Help!

Calling all Franklin Students and Families! We need your help! As we continue to work hard as a staff to prepare for a great start to the virtual school year, we are looking for some input from all of you. Your feedback, suggestions, and assistance with brainstorming ideas for the upcoming year will make a big impact. During these Family and Student Focus Groups on August 10, we will be asking questions such as:

  • What worked well during your online learning experience in the Spring? What could have been better?
  • Tell us three things that will help you be successful at Virtual Franklin this Fall?
  • How can we help you stay organized as a student at our virtual school this Fall?

If you are interested in talking about these topics and participating in one of the Focus Groups at the times below, please use this form to let us know your contact information and availability. There are two sessions for students and two sessions for family members. These sessions are optional and open to all Franklin students and family members. Focus group members will be emailed a personalized link for each of these sessions. 

Student Session #1 on Monday, August 10 at 9:00 AM

Student Session #2 on Monday, August 10 at 2:00 PM

Family Session #1 on Monday, August 10 at 10:00 AM

Family Session #2 on Monday, August 10 at 6:00 PM

Thank you for your consideration! We hope that you can join us.
